Am I naive that this just shows the need for open source programs?

If I build support for beta 1, then beta 2 breaks the support, so I have to go in and build support for beta 2, then beta 3 breaks support for that, etc., etc., etc., I believe that's called spinning my wheels. Better to wait until the thing is actually released, or a bout to be released, and offer support that won't break in a beta that gets released tomorrow.

in order to contribute to the accessibility of Vista and jaws?


Seems to me that I've been fighting all my life in support of building in
accessibility from the ground up, instead of retrofitting. If a leader in
screen reader technology doesn't show initiative then why should anyone
else?

I take this as an indicator that FS should wait until Vista is out, so they'll know exactly what they have to do for accessibility.
